\u00a0The house being offered at $400 is not legitimate. \u00a0Is the beautiful condo that should sell for $150,000 being offered at $60,000? \u00a0It is a scam.<\/p>\n<p>This is difficult, because we all want to find a good deal. \u00a0But put yourself in the shoes of a legitimate landlord. \u00a0If they could easily fill their home with a good tenant by offering $100 less than market value, why would they offer it for\u00a0$500 less? \u00a0It doesn&#8217;t make sense.<\/p>\n<p>You can find great deals on the Craigslist real estate site. \u00a0However, you won&#8217;t find a legitimate property without major flaws for pennies on the dollar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. \u00a0Scammers are smarter now.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, fake posts are easy to spot. \u00a0The grammar is awful, half of the words are misspelled, and there is no real contact information. \u00a0However, most con artists are smarter than that.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thehoneybeehomes.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Computer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1109\" src=\"http:\/\/thehoneybeehomes.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Computer-300x202.jpg\" alt=\"Computer\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehoneybeehomes.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Computer-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thehoneybeehomes.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Computer-1024x691.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>They will steal legitimate real estate posts from other websites, including text and pictures. \u00a0Everything will look very nice, and it will be indistinguishable from a regular post.\u00a0They will replace the real contact information with their own, and hope you send them money.<\/p>\n<p>They may provide a phone number (that rings to an answering machine), and they may email back and forth with you several times. \u00a0However, if you take a few minutes to research, you can stop them from fooling you.<\/p>\n<p>Search for the ad text in Google. \u00a0Often, fake ads are\u00a0copied word for word from a real site. \u00a0If you find the same posting listed for a higher price elsewhere, the low price is probably fake.<\/p>\n<p>If the person tells you they are &#8216;working around their property manager,&#8217; call the property management company, and look up the housing records online.

walk-through of the property, are pushing you to send money, or tell\u00a0you to &#8216;just look in the windows,&#8217; walk away. \u00a0These are all clear\u00a0signs of a scam.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t
